If I tell you that I want less flying superheroes and alien monsters, but rather more serious stories about real-life people, the right counterpoint is not "well, for me, Marvel movies is more meaningful as art".
Obviously all art is "unreal" in terms of being separate from our own subjective reality, yada yada yada, but that's neither here nor there. Within the realm of "things that are filmed and projected within the medium of TV", which is what we are talking about, there are degrees of naturalism which we can describe and compare, irrespective of what kind of artistic "truth" you think is conveyed.

If you'd said "the level of naturalism Ted Lasso chooses doesn't do anything for me", there'd be no argument. But you clearly claimed that there were intrinsic properties of the show itself that were "objectively" unrealistic.
